If you are looking to give a kitten a new home, the St. Landry Parish Animal Shelter and Spotted Cat Antiques will host a special kitten adoption event Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

“As we are hosting this event in cooperation with the Spotted Cat, we will have no dogs that day. But we will have some adorable kittens,” said Terri Courville, the shelter’s director.

Spotted Cat Antiques is located at 637 Creswell Lane in Opelousas.

Courville said these kittens, all about five months old, have been fostered by a local volunteer so they are ready to adopt.

“These kittens are very friendly, socialized with dogs and are up-to-date on their vaccinations,” Courville said. “Rather than return these kittens to the shelter, she would like them to find forever homes.”

The adoption fee is $20. That includes microchips so they can be easily identified and returned home should they ever become lost.

If you are in the mood for a dog, she said the shelter, located at 255 Hanger Road beside the parish airport, has a good supply of dogs of all ages and breeds that are also looking for a good home.

The shelter is open for adoptions Monday through Friday and Courvelle urged interested individuals to just drop by.
